After school in the afternoon, Zhou Tianxing and Zhou Yang went home and talked to Cheng Wanting about donating money.
Zhou Yang said that his class teacher requires each student to have at least 50 cents, and there is no upper limit.
Cheng Xiang frowned. The principal meant to do what he could, but the head teacher passed it on and actually set limits.
No matter what era, there are always a few conspicuous bags that I like to roll.
Cheng Xiang gave each child 1 yuan, neither too much nor too little, and asked them to donate it.
Zhou Tianxing held one yuan in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said to Cheng: "Can I donate more?" Then he quickly said: "Use my own pocket money."
Cheng wanted to ask: "Why?"
Zhou Tianxing said: "Xu Li is my classmate. She is really good at studying, especially Chinese. I have read the compositions she wrote. They are very, very talented. They are completely different from the chronicle compositions we wrote. They are very good." She is talented, but I think it is a pity that she does not go to school.”
Cheng Xiang nodded silently, pondered for a moment and said: "Tian Xing, it is a good thing to have compassion, but I hope you know that this world is so imperfect. Everyone has their own destiny. We are not gods and cannot save anyone. , Xu Li’s roots lie in her family, and we can’t change that. You can donate 1 yuan more, even 10 yuan, but it won’t solve the fundamental problem.”
Zhou Tianxing nodded thoughtfully, but Cheng Xiang finally gave him an extra dollar, as long as he could understand this truth and not be a saintly mother with overflowing sympathy in the future.
Behavior still needs to be supported.
In Cheng Xiang's memory, the country began to implement nine-year compulsory education in 1986. By then, children were free until junior high school.
At this time, there is no need to worry about housing in a school district, and the cost of education for families will be much smaller.
Xu Li is now in sixth grade and may not be able to keep up with this policy, but his younger brother can.
As long as Xu Li can insist on graduating from junior high school and can successfully go to high school. The high school is in the county. If her grades are good, there is a tuition exemption policy. Then her brother will not have to pay tuition for school. As long as her mother has some conscience, Xu Li's future will still be There is hope.
but......
Therefore, there must be something hateful about poor people.
A few days later, the principal handed the donation to Xu Li's mother. The woman's smile didn't look like someone whose husband had just died.
The principal persuaded her earnestly, and Xu Li's mother finally agreed to let Xu Li continue studying.
But she said she had no money to pay tuition and the school's donations would be used to treat her paralyzed mother-in-law, so she asked the principal to help contact her about waiving tuition.
Of course, the Education Bureau would not set such a precedent for Xu Li.
However, Xu Li did not drop out of school. Some people said that the principal paid the tuition for her. In short, the matter passed like this.
**********
On Sunday, the family, all dressed up and in high spirits, took a car to the city to take family photos.
This is a new photo studio opened in the city in the past two years. Compared with those time-honored photo studios, it has many more popular elements.
The family walked in. Zhou Tianlei walked to the counter, took out the receipt for the day, and told the receptionist that he had booked a photo shoot for today.
The receptionist was a teenage girl. She flipped through the registration book and said with a look of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, comrade, but the wedding dress has been ordered for someone else to take photos today. Yours will be postponed for a day."
Zhou Tianlei frowned: "Why? I obviously made the reservation for today, and your boss said it was a new wedding dress that no one has ever worn, so I made the reservation. Now he actually wants to let someone else take the photo first?"
He saw the wedding dress that day, soft and white, and his mind was filled with thoughts of how Cheng wanted to wear it.
When he walked into the bridal shop, the owner was a charming middle-aged lady, and saw Zhou Tianlei.
I'm so passionate that I can't wait to stick it up.
Zhou Tianlei asked her: "Is there a new wedding dress?"
The landlady looked at the man in front of her. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was handsome and strong. She said in a delicate voice: "This is new. This is a new product from Hong Kong. No one has worn it yet. Of course, not everyone wears it." Affordable.”
Zhou Tianlei wanted to see Cheng Xiang look like in a wedding dress, but those clothes that had been worn by countless people were not worthy of her, so he had to give her brand new ones.
He said in a deep voice: "I made an order. No one is allowed to wear this dress before we come to take pictures."
The proprietress smiled sweetly, although this man's skin is indeed good, but it is not worth real money: "Comrade, this wedding dress is our new product, and it is expensive. You have to make a decision, and we have to reserve the price. ..."
"How much?" Zhou Tianlei interrupted the woman.
The landlady was startled, then stretched out three fingers: "I will reserve a deposit of 300 yuan for you. After taking pictures, if the wedding dress is not damaged, I will refund the deposit to you."
Zhou Tianlei nodded, took out 300 yuan from his pocket, and handed it to the proprietress: "Place the order, issue a receipt, and come over on Sunday to take pictures."
The landlady looked slightly stunned and thought to herself: "She can almost match the rich and small in this city. Where does this nouveau riche come from? I've never seen him before? You really can't tell a person by his appearance." "
While smiling happily, he opened the receipt for Zhou Tianlei: "Comrade Zhou, where can you get a good job?"
Zhou Tianlei collected the receipt silently: "Zhoujia Village Pig Farm."
At this time, the receptionist told her that it must have been booked. Someone wanted to put on that wedding dress before Cheng Xiang?
He couldn't help but feel the anger surging inside him, and his face darkened.
The receptionist saw the change in the man's expression in front of him, and his heart trembled, and he quickly said: "You, wait a moment, I will call the boss over."
The little girl ran upstairs with a bang.
Cheng Xiang looked over and told Zhou Tianxing to take good care of the child, then walked to Zhou Tianlei and asked softly: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Zhou Tianlei shook his head and whispered: "It's okay, just wait for a while."
Cheng Xiang nodded.
At this time, a clear voice came from the stairs: "Comrade Zhou, are you here?"
Cheng Xiang looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a beautiful woman slowly walking down the stairs. The woman was fashionably dressed, with a tight-fitting red top that outlined her proud curves, and black bell-bottom pants that revealed her slender, straight legs.
She has big waves, delicate makeup, a bright smile, and a pretty face.
The landlady walked down and saw the woman next to Zhou Tianlei, even though she was used to seeing the daughters of various wealthy families in the city.
But they are all much inferior to this girl. Although she does not wear makeup and has no decoration, her natural beauty is beyond the reach of others.
In addition, she has a seemingly soft but cold temperament, which easily attracts attention.
No wonder, such a stunning person is indeed worthy of a man spending a lot of money on her.
